mai-cli 1.10.5

Multi-Agent Collaboration CLI with flock-based locking and event-driven workflow

Mai CLI

English | 简体中文

Multi-Agent Coordination CLI — enables multiple AI agents to collaborate autonomously via a standardized command interface, backed by flock-based atomic locking.

---

✨ Features

• 🔒 Atomic flock locks — race-condition-free claim/complete via POSIX fcntl.flock()
• 📋 Standardized commands — full Issue lifecycle, queue scanning, lock management, audit logs, daily summaries
• 📁 Dual-layer storage — .mai/ as internal source, async/ as human-readable mirror
• ⚙️ JSON configuration — queue SLA, agent heartbeat, issue ID prefix all in config.json
• 🔄 Concurrent-safe daily summaries — multiple agents write simultaneously with flock protection
• 🌍 Global Infrastructure — centralized management of global config and project registry in ~/.mai-cli/ (v1.10.3+)
• ✅ Idempotent writes — repeating any operation preserves state
• 📦 Zero dependencies — Python 3 stdlib only
